SOM Representative Dubai

About the role

Overseas Distribution Company (ODC) has one ambition: to be the best distributor in Duty Free & Travel Retail. That ambition is delivered operationally — through our SCOM x Customs department, which owns every administrative and ERP-based step in our inbound and outbound logistics flow.

To support the continued growth of our Antwerp operations, we are looking for a Supplier Order Management Representative based in our Dubai office (Jebel Ali Free Zone), 100% dedicated to Antwerp / EU order operations. You will work closely with our Antwerp x Dubai coordination team to keep order flows accurate, on time, and reliable — freeing our coordinators to focus on service quality and proactive key-account support.

This is a hands-on, detail-driven role for someone who takes ownership of getting customer orders right, end to end.

Key responsibilities

• Manage end-to-end supplier order processing for our EU / Antwerp operations — purchase order entry, tracking, and inbound delivery coordination (A–Z).

• Follow up on purchase order entry and monitor inbound order flows daily, including work supported by our order-tracking tooling (e.g. Ordereye).

• Maintain accurate, complete records in our ERP system (Microsoft Business Central) for supplier orders and related documentation.

• Liaise with suppliers, warehouse teams, and ODC logistics partners to ensure timely, cost-effective inbound shipments.

• Collaborate with procurement, sales, and warehouse colleagues to align supplier order fulfilment with supply and demand.

• Actively strengthen quality in weaker areas — most notably inbound order entry — by applying consistent checks and safeguards to reduce recurring errors.

• Provide reliable back-up coverage for the Antwerp supplier order desk during peak periods and colleague absences.

The profile of our ideal candidate

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, or a related field — or equivalent relevant experience.

• 3+ years of experience in supplier order management, order processing, order fulfilment, or a comparable supplier-service / logistics support role.

• Exposure to international import/export processes.

• GTR (Global Travel Retail) or duty-free experience is a strong plus.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Dynamics Navision and Microsoft Business Central, and the Microsoft Office Suite.

• Familiarity with order follow-up / monitoring tools (e.g. Ordereye) is a plus.

• Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills, with a sharp eye for accuracy and detail.

• Fluent in English; additional European languages are an asset.

• Comfortable serving European operations from a Dubai base and working cross-functionally across teams and time zones.

• Familiarity with working in an EU based company is a plus.

• Able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

What do we offer?

• A full-time position (Monday to Friday)

• A workplace at Jafza One Tower B (Office 2410), Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai.

• The opportunity to work in a financially stable and global business environment.

• Regular interaction with international contacts.

• A competitive compensation package

• A great team culture within an ambitious, fast-growing company that values talent and excellence.
